"Fichajes" revealed that Atlético Madrid is considering the possibility of executing a swap deal with Inter Milan to acquire the Italian midfielder Davide Frattesi, amid the urgent need to strengthen the midfield after the departure of several players this winter, most notably Conor Gallagher.

The same source indicated that Frattesi, who does not have a guaranteed starting position in Inter’s lineup this season, could be an ideal target for Atlético Madrid next season. This potential deal comes as part of an exchange involving Argentine international Nicolás González, who is currently playing under a mandatory purchase clause with Atlético Madrid, meaning the Spanish club will become his definitive owner once the clause is activated.

The report explained that Atlético Madrid seeks to reinforce its midfield with a player capable of providing energy and tactical presence in La Liga and the Champions League matches, while Frattesi has the ability to reach the penalty area, create chances, and break opponent lines, qualities appreciated by coach Diego Simeone.

The report confirmed that Inter Milan does not plan to let go of Frattesi during the winter transfer window, making any potential agreement postponed to the next season, with Atlético continuing to closely monitor the case to ensure the deal fits both sporting and financial considerations.
